About Dry Van Trucking
Dry van is the most common trailer type in the US, hauling general freight, consumer goods, and packaged products. High availability means competitive rates, but consistent volume keeps utilization strong.
Dry Van Market in the West Coast
West Coast dry van rates are bolstered by port-driven import freight from Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland, and Seattle-Tacoma. The sheer volume of containerized imports creates consistent outbound demand, especially eastbound loads. Rates tend to be higher than the national average due to operating costs and the imbalance between inbound (import) and outbound freight. California's regulatory environment adds compliance costs but also limits competition.
